JSIFS lab-incubator program
Experimental Replication and Integrity Program
Focuses on reproducibility, calibration provenance, protocol completeness, blind testing, cross-lab transfer, negative results, and replication packets.
Research questions
- Can an unaffiliated team run the protocol without contacting its author?
- Are acceptance and ambiguity criteria fixed in advance?
- Are null and negative results equally preserved?
Required inputs
- Executed protocol with deviations
- Calibration and chain-of-custody records
- Acceptance criteria, negative results, and known failure modes
Known confounders
- Tacit procedural knowledge
- Missing tolerances
- Collaborative rather than independent replication
- Post-hoc criteria
- Suppressed nulls
Output artifacts
- Protocol-completeness audit
- Replication packet
- Cross-lab transfer plan
- Replication status record
Human review requirements
- Originating team confirms completeness
- Independent replicator reviews usability
- Compliance owner approves transfer
